I was nervous at my before-chemo visit with Dr. Cristofanilli. After my second round of FEC, I was hit with a bad cold. Then after that, I found myself faced with fatigue that I hadn’t experienced thus far into chemo. Because I have had a history of low white-blood counts during my chemo treatments (3.5, 3.9, 4.1, etc. on a scale of 4 – 11), I was concerned that the cold I had might bring my counts down lower than usual, thereby potentially postponing chemo until my white-blood count recovered a bit. Added to the concern about the cold, I wondered if my increased fatigue might also be indicative of low counts. Needless to say, I went into my appointment anxious.
